PROJECT TITLE

Demonstration of capacity building of forest restoration and sustainable forest management in Vietnam

EXECUTING AGENCY

Phu Tho Sub – department of Forestry and Forest Science Institute of Vietnam

ECONOMIES DIRECTLY BENEFITED

Vietnam

DURATION

27 months, September 2010 to December 2012

GOAL

To maximize contribution of forests on hunger elimination, poverty alleviation, environmental services and livelihood improvement.

OBJECTIVES

1. Increasing and diversifying forest products through planting non timber forest product species in the forest;

2. Increasing long term economic values of natural forests through timber composition improvement;

3. Enhancing local capacity on production of market - oriented forest products;

4. Enhancing ecological services including carbon sequestration, catchment and soil protection, biodiversity conservation by minimizing forest degradation and sustainable forest management;

5. Strengthening personal capacity to local institutions, farmers’ understanding in forest restoration and management, and NTFP processing.

PROJECT OUTPUTS

Output 1: 50 ha of pilot models of planting NTFP species in forests and 500 clumps of bamboo species are planted around stand borders and hill foots will be established. Income of local farmers from harvesting forest product is increased;

Output 2: 50 ha of pilot models of forest restoration by improvement thinning and enrichment planting by high value timber species will be established;

Output 3: Technical handbooks, leaflets on restoration silviculture techniques, growing techniques of NTFP and high value timber species, forest protection and NTFP processing etc. will be developed and distributed to project areas and nearby regions. Village regulations on forest protection and forest product benefit sharing will be developed; Village forestry development fund will be established;

Output 4: Training courses and study tours on restoration silviculture techniques, growing techniques of NTFP and high value timber species, forest protection and NTFP processing will be conducted for project’s villagers and nearby communities with good quality.
